The Northern Deniocra. cy can go that and swallow it without greasing. The Southern Democracy uiu.it hold still and not protest, and ulti- mately if the Democracy shall succeed in electing their President in 1.800, the chivalry of the Sjuth may then step in, and throwing,themselves upon the Drcd Scott decision, demand their eonstitu- ti -nal rights to take their slaves into the Territories nnd hold theni there in spite man on f'>ot, or horses draning-hcuvy | 0 f an act of Congress, or in defiance- of londa.

He had four s .ns, and his wish was that one of them should take the property and assume the sup- port of their mot hor and payment of his debts. This duty fell upon Frederick, his three brothers signing an acquittance to all claim upon the proj)->rty. On Fri- day last, Alonzo, one of the brothers, who is about 10 or '20 years of age, went to the barn and built a fire among some straw and hay in the bay, and then pla- ced a loaded gun to the pit of his stom- ach and discharged if, Frederick's wife accidentally wont to the door, and heard him groau. £ho went into tho barn atid there found Alouzo lying upon the (leer, and the fire just commencing to burn,— She was much frightened, hut hastened to a ncighhor's to procure help to remove the wounded mau. Not finding any ono, she returned and attempted to remove him aline, but ho broke from her grasp and rushed back into the fire; agaiu she made another effort to save him P atid in the effort hor clothes caught fire. At this juncture help arrived, and ho was removed and her clothes extinguished but the Kre in tho barn had then made such progress as to tlefy all efforts to stop it, and the bam, thed and house were entirely consumed, and also a great- er portion of the furniture, together with a hog and some farming tools. The loss is about SOOO or S70D, on which there was no insurance. The loass falls roeu- liarly hard on Mr. Thomas He is a steady, industrious man, nnd is just emu. meneiug life, having been married but a few days. We trust a sympathizing pub- lic will aid him in his trembles. Alorzi was living on Saturday in.irning, but will probably die.
